"Brush your teeth!" "Did you do it already?" Let's end the daily battles — with points. Star Points turns the things you want your kids to do into points that spark motivation and build lasting habits as a family. ■ Sound familiar? - Nagging about teeth-brushing and tidy-up, every single day - Help requests met with unhappy faces - Paper sticker charts and allowance books abandoned in three days - You wish they'd try harder — but how? Star Points gives daily habits and chores a point value so kids start moving on their own. ■ How it works (3 steps) 1. Parent registers tasks (e.g., Brush teeth 3pt / Clean the bath 20pt) 2. Kid taps "I did it!" to submit a completion 3. Parent approves → points are earned → swap for rewards ■ Why kids keep going - Points add up visibly — a real sense of achievement - "I did it!" gets acknowledged by a parent - They aim for rewards they chose themselves - Each sibling has their own tasks and points (up to 5 kids) ■ Why parents have it easier - Less "you have to be told" friction - Asking for help becomes easier - Effort is visible at a glance - Every approval is a chance to praise and chat ■ Main features - Recurring tasks (daily / weekly) and one-time tasks - Reusable task templates for common chores - Reward registration and an approval flow for swaps - One-tap switch between parent and kid modes - History view to look back on the journey ■ Best for families with - Kids from preschool through elementary school - Two working parents and busy weekdays - Paper charts and allowance books that didn't last - Multiple siblings ■ Designed with peace of mind - No email sign-up — start in seconds (link an email later) - Kids never see purchase prompts - Data is stored in the cloud — safe across device changes (with email linking) ■ Free to start Begin with just three tasks. Build a new family habit today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Star Points Card at none against チャイム's shown. Star Points Card also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
